A first date can be a daunting experience, but thankfully, it seems that there’s a fairly easy way to make sure you impress your date.
A new study has revealed that daters make a better impression when they concentrate on communicating the effort behind their successes, rather than just emphasizing their talent.
Researchers from Cass Business School investigated how people attribute their success on first dates and job interviews.
Contrary to popular belief, the researchers found that success alone isn’t enough to make a good impression.
Instead, hearing about the struggle behind someone’s success makes them appear more likable.
In the study, the researchers carried out three experiments - two that emulated a job interview, and one that emulated the first date.
Participants were asked to imagine themselves as either the interviewee/sharer on a date or the interviewer/listener on a date.
The interviewee/sharer on a date was asked to speak about themselves in a positive way, and the interviewer/listener on date gave feedback on what they wanted to hear more about.
Results revealed that in all three experiments, the interviewers/listeners wanted to hear more about the hard work and effort behind successes.
